With the help of the robot vision system from VITRONIC the identification and handling of complex components with changing size and form is possible. This enables the automization of industrial production processes which, for many years, were not considered automatable.
The Robot-Vision-System VIRO 3D has established a robust and efficient technology for the 3D recognition of objects in many industrial areas.
The modern technology facilitates the automatic processing of objects with varying sizes and surface characteristics. The 3D recognition technique recognizes even difficult objects and can coordinate them ready for automatic processing. It does not matter whether an object changes shape slightly over the long-term, or if they have to be recognized in constantly changing situations, or if their surface is simply just difficult to recognize
Example: The loading and unloading of setting trays
The new VIRO 3D system demonstrates its efficiency with the loading and unloading of setting trays used for transmission manufacturing. Here, shaft drives, gearbox shafts and in particular gear-wheels are stacked on to the setting trays and are put into the furnace to harden. The 3D deformation of the setting trays and grids increases every time they are placed in the furnace. As a result these expensive pallets must be replaced regularly. Now VIRO 3D acquires a full three-dimensional image and determines for each position and, respectively for each component, the coordinates of each position in all six degrees of freedom. Thus, the setting trays can be automatically loaded and unloaded.
Customer Benefits
•Identification and optical inspection with a single machine vision system
•Recognition of difficult objects and confirmation of the coordinates
•Automatic handling, even on objects with variable contours
